"The two of you need not be tense, I have no ill intentions; I was rely driven here by pursuers."
Lin Chen, seeing the anxious expression of the purple-robed maiden, imdiately began to explain.
Upon hearing his words, Xia Wanxin slowly exhaled in relief, but the purple-robed maiden remained on high alert, her gaze fixed on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen, observing this, did not offer further explanation. Instead, he kept his distance from the two won, found a spot, and began to sit in ditation to recover his spiritual power.
A flash of light appeared, and a Spiritual Puppet at the Ninth Level of the Heaven-reaching Realm materialized to stand guard beside Lin Chen.
In fact, during the previous pursuit by those five individuals, Lin Chen could have brought out his Spiritual Puppet and most likely would have triumphed in battle against them.
However, doing so would cause a huge commotion, attracting who knows how many martial artists to the scene.
Lin Chen had made quite a na for himself in the previous five challenges, and he could guess that he might have incurred the dissatisfaction of many martial artists.
Especially with news of him possessing treasures, Lin Chen had to remain low-key until he could break through to the Heaven-reaching Realm. Otherwise, attracting a large number of martial artists, particularly those of Deng Yu’s caliber, would leave Lin Chen with no option but to flee.
However, if the martial artists ambushing Lin Chen were too nurous, reaching a thousand or more, even with the Purple Cloud Wings and the Purple Cloud Flying Wings, Lin Chen might not be able to escape their encirclent.
Lin Chen swallowed an elixir and began to recover his spiritual power in peace.
Seeing the Stone Sculpture Puppet beside Lin Chen, which possessed the cultivation of the Heaven-reaching Realm, Xia Wanxin and the purple-robed maiden could not help but be taken aback. They were already wary of Lin Chen’s strength, but what surprised them even more was that he possessed a puppet of such caliber.
And they still did not know how many more of such Stone Sculpture Puppets Lin Chen had. If there were many, just these puppets would be enough trouble for them.
Xia Wanxin didn’t harbor any malice toward Lin Chen, but you can’t judge a book by its cover. Who knew if Lin Chen might harbor any ill intentions towards them?
After all, while at Baiming Garden, Xia Wanxin had heard of Lin Chen’s reputation.
He was relentless in pursuit of treasures. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people who attended the conference had their treasures plundered by Lin Chen, which contributed to his notorious reputation reaching the ears of the two won.
Hu hu—
Half an hour later, Lin Chen opened his eyes, and the purple-robed maiden, who had been guarding Xia Wanxin, instantly beca tense.
Xia Wanxin also awoke from her ditation, and both won vigilantly turned their gazes upon Lin Chen.
Lin Chen knew that Xia Wanxin and her companion had found this place first, and it was inappropriate for him to linger any longer.
After all, no one likes to ditate and heal under soone else’s watchful eyes, as it is when one is most vulnerable. If attacked, one could easily be inflicted with severe injuries or even death.
"Ladies, I apologize for the intrusion. I have recovered now and will take my leave."
Having said this, Lin Chen turned around to leave the place.
"Wait a mont."
However, just as Lin Chen was about to depart, Xia Wanxin suddenly called out to him.
At her words, Lin Chen slightly furrowed his brows and turned around in confusion to look at Xia Wanxin, wondering if the two won intended to keep him there after all.
Regardless of the Stone Sculpture Puppets he possessed, the two won were injured, and Lin Chen had just restored his spiritual power to its peak. He felt he had a fifty percent chance of overwhelming them.
Even if the two won had so trump cards for saving their own lives, Lin Chen was not afraid. If they had them, was it possible that he did not?
"Do you ladies need sothing?"
Lin Chen asked indifferently, looking at Xia Wanxin.
While speaking, Lin Chen’s spiritual power surged within him, ready for combat at any mont.
Seeing how vigilant Lin Chen was, Xia Wanxin imdiately said.
"I stopped Young Master Lin Chen to tell you that we, too, have been driven here by pursuers. Those people are not few in number and even more so, they are strong."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen slightly frowned.
Xia Wanxin was at the Half-Step Return to Void Realm, and Lin Chen had witnessed her strength during the Trial Tower, second only to Qin Kaifeng. And the purple-robed maiden by her side also possessed no ordinary strength.
Those who could harm the two of them must be extraordinary, and Xia Wanxin ntioned there were not a few of them. Exactly how many were they?
Most importantly, why did Xia Wanxin choose to tell Lin Chen about this matter at this mont?
Could it be...
At this thought, Lin Chen’s brows knitted together.
"Miss, you have stopped to inform of this, you’re not suggesting that they have already pursued us here, are you?"
Lin Chen’s eyes fell on Xia Wanxin as he asked outright.
"Young Master Lin Chen is indeed astute; those people have, in fact, pursued us to this place. That’s why I stopped you, Young Master Lin Chen. I didn’t want you to go out and encounter them now. Those people are murderous by nature and would certainly cause all sorts of trouble for Young Master Lin Chen," Xia Wanxin said, looking at Lin Chen with utmost seriousness.
After hearing this, Lin Chen was montarily speechless.
He had already been pursued to this place, and now after just having his spiritual power restored, another group had co.
He thought he might as well have fought those five individuals earlier.
Having heard Xia Wanxin’s explanation, Lin Chen released his Divine Sense outward from the Outer Sect, and indeed sensed a group of people encircling the valley from all sides.
Leading them were a man in white and another in red, both at the Half-Step Return to Void Realm, indicating they had encountered so fortune in the mystic realm and advanced from the Ninth Level of the Heaven-reaching Realm.
Before entering the mystic realm, Lin Chen had carefully observed the cultivation levels of all participants. Apart from Qin Kaifeng, Xia Wanxin, Ouyang Xuan, Deng Yu, and the Heartless Monk, the cultivation of other martial artists had not reached the Half-Step Return to Void Realm.
At that mont, the two n were leading more than a dozen martial artists towards the valley.
Without guessing, it was clear that these people were also after Xia Wanxin.
